If you take two or more medicines for the same condition, a free NHS Medicines Check Up Service can make sure you’re getting the best from them.
The Medicines Check Up is a FREE NHS service conducted by your pharmacist, which can help you make sure you’re getting the most from your medicines and understand as much as possible about your condition to help you manage it as best you can.
So, for example, if you have asthma or high blood pressure, you might have been prescribed several medicines to help, and may have questions you would like to ask about them.
Firstly, talk to your pharmacist to see if you are eligible for the NHS Medicines Check Up service. If so, you will have an informal, confidential consultation with the pharmacist in the consultation room. This should only take around 10 minutes and could be while you are waiting for your medicines to be dispensed.
